About

Congregation Achduth Vesholom traces its roots to 1848, distinguishing us as the oldest Jewish congregation in Indiana. Since its founding, the Temple has resided in four locations. Our current facility on Old Mill Road became our home in 1961.

In an effort to better document Temple history, we’re collecting stories about the people represented on the yahrzeit plaques on our walls. Nat Zweig is gathering memories spanning the time period of our earliest members to the present. Please contact the Temple office at 744-4245 or office@TempleCAV.org to share your story or send a paragraph or two about your loved ones (even if there's not a memorial plaque) to the Temple at 5200 Old Mill Road, Fort Wayne, 46807. We’re interested in connections to our congregation and stories about the Temple.
